Scientists tested how much whole grain makes a difference. The answer was not simply “more”
A meta-analysis of 87 randomized trials found that increasing whole-grain intake was associated with improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, although many individual changes were small or clinically unimportant. Dose-response analyses suggested that the magnitude of the effects varied by outcome and intake level, with limited evidence at very high intakes.
The music in psychedelic therapy may be more than background sound
A narrative review examines how music interacts with psychedelics, psychological support, and treatment context in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, arguing that its role cannot be understood as an isolated component. The authors highlight limited evidence on music-specific effects and propose studying PAP as a complex intervention, with music described according to its therapeutic function rather than fixed playlists or genres.
Study defines early-onset cirrhosis caused by fatty liver disease
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published the first study to define early-onset cirrhosis caused by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition known as fatty liver disease.
Morning speech therapy benefits young people with childhood apraxia
For young people with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), a disorder that affects the brain's ability to plan and coordinate the movements needed for speech, speech difficulties can persist well beyond childhood.
Study links missing brain protein to ADHD-like behaviors
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect attention, activity levels, and impulse control, with symptoms often beginning in childhood and sometimes continuing into adulthood.
Simple fecal test could help detect colorectal and pancreatic cancers
Gastrointestinal and pancreatobiliary cancers can be difficult to detect early, creating a need for practical, noninvasive approaches for early detection and risk assessment.
Study confirms continued effectiveness of antibodies and vaccines used to prevent RSV infections
An analysis of more than 60,000 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) sequences from around the world found that viral variants associated with resistance to current RSV prevention tools remain rare, according to a study published Sept. 16 in Nature.
Study establishes foundational landscape of tumor evolution in bladder cancer
A new study published in Nature has established the foundational landscape of tumor evolution in bladder cancer and differences in the cancer subtypes, which could point toward better diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Campus dining halls fail to provide appealing protein choices for college students
A new University of Maine study has identified what researchers describe as a campus protein challenge. Although students generally consumed adequate amounts of protein, many reported that campus dining halls failed to provide protein choices they considered flavorful, appealing or prepared in ways they viewed as healthful.
Severe intestinal inflammation in preterm infants directly triggers brain damage
NEC is one of the most common and lethal gastrointestinal emergencies in preterm infants, with mortality rates ranging from 15% to 30%.
New ADA grant funds AI mobile tool to prevent teen diabetes
It's well-known that obesity and the cardiometabolic diseases that it can lead to continues to be a major concern among the nation's teens, affecting more than 1 in 5.
Eating four to six wholegrain servings daily protects heart health
Eating four to six servings of wholegrain each day reduces several major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, according to a new study published in the European Heart Journal today (Wednesday).
Study: Multiple dietary patterns linked to slower biological aging
A study by DZNE finds that healthy eating is associated with slower biological aging-and that there is more than one way to eat healthily.
Specialized imaging technique detects most clinically relevant prostate cancers
An elevated PSA level in the blood may indicate prostate cancer, but does not yet allow for a definitive diagnosis.
Imperial College London chemical engineer develops new technology to tackle global inequalities in vaccination coverage
A new technology that allows vaccines to be stored at room temperature in liquid form could tackle global health inequalities.
Genetically modified bacteria create protective shield against Salmonella attacks
The mammalian gut microbiome is teeming with a delicate balance of bacteria and the viruses that keep them in check, called bacteriophages, or phages.
Study illuminates the link between the Epstein-Barr virus and multiple sclerosis
A new study illuminates the connection between the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and multiple sclerosis (MS), pointing to a causal role for reactivation of the virus in triggering MS attacks in people with certain genetic risk factors.
Promising AI tool to speed up endometriosis diagnosis
Less than a second. That’s how long it takes for an emerging AI tool to detect signs of endometriosis through one simple scan. It’s a much faster process than the current seven-year wait for surgery and less invasive.
Peer-reviewed study shows six times lower blood damage in Realheart® TAH than market-leading device in vitro
